.F.O.O.D.

I must write a separate entry for FOOD...food that we had in NY. (Btw, most pictures posted here were taken by Jus as she, unlike me, dares to take photos in shops hehe). Being the food lover Jus is we researched into the best places to eat in the Big Apple. Undeniably, Serendipity's on Upper 63rd East is a must (Bloomingdales is only round the corner!). I think we went there 3x to indulge the scrumptious desserts they serve. Frrrrozen Hot Chocolate is a MUST. (N.B.Serendipity the movie!)




Another frequent visit was Dylans' Candy Shop on 3rd Ave (as E! have taught me is owned by Ralph Lauren's daughter!) Oh my, I had a sudden sugar rush as I stepped into the shop. Candies everywhereeeeee!! The child in you just comes out and you become one like every other child in the shop......sugar high!!


Our 1st dinner was at Todai's Sushi Bar in Midtown, nearby 5th Ave/ Empire State Building. It was so good yet moderately priced! We loved it so much we came back again 2 days later.


After our Downtown Loop Bus Tour we walked by Saks and towards Rockefeller Center and an authentic Japanese Bakery shop caught our eye. Bought a few delicacies....of course!


We also managed to hop the subway train to Brooklyn to get some One Girl cookies! As Chandler from Friends said...Brooklyn is so far! But the journey was worth it when we had freshly made cookies served at this dainty cute shop and we bought a bag-full to take back home!


Our last touristic destination was the Grand Central Station. I remember seeing it on 'My Bestfriend's Wedding' when Julia Roberts was frantically chasing Cameron Diaz....and honestly I didnt expect the station was so grand looking! Grand Central Station indeed! Such a contrast from London's Paddington or Euston. Lined with marbled floors and walls, it was beautiful. Not to mention they had restaurants from cafes to proper dine-in michelin starred restaurants. There we had mexican...umm nyum!!


And oh u must have a pretzel when u're in NY!!
